Standard CSS Reset that Kevin Recommends?
Hello, I've searched on Kevin's website and on his youtube channels. Can anyone share a link to a Kevin's preferred current way to apply a "css reset" ? These are the resources that I have found:
* https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CAPo3HZBWS0 -- I think he identifies the "ideal" reset in this video but I could not find a link to the reset code.
* https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eWmDW4zEXt4 -- an extension to a reset to help animations, but not the full reset
* https://www.kevinpowell.co/article/css-remedy/ -- this article expresses excitement about css remedy. Is css remedy the preferred way now?
Thank you

Hey, did you ever find an answer to this? Or if resets are necessary? It feels like the growth of css frameworks has fractured resets for non-framework use.
I'm also a bit curious if anyone has thoughts on the various resets out there vs normalize.css. It's obviously just another reset with a different name.
Meyer used to be the big one, but I don't know what to make of things these days.
CSS resets aren’t needed nowadays as there’s a lot more parity between browsers. And the fact that devs finally realized that you don’t need pixel-perfect, identical everything in each browser.
As long as the browsing experience is consistent, it doesn’t matter if FF and Chrome have different default font faces.
If you want a sane, well-thought out starting point have a look at Jen Simmons’ CSS Remedy. Not only are there far fewer “MAKE ALL SAME” rules, there’s comments as to why each one was added.
Granted it hasn’t been touched in years. But that’s ok. It’s pretty much perfect as is. There haven’t been many CSS properties added that have wonky defaults :p
Thanks
I think I found my answer https://tailwindcss.com/docs/preflight
Preflight - Base styles
An opinionated set of base styles for Tailwind projects.
seeing as tailwind is my default / go to for CSS i personally would just use tailwind's css reset
@13eck.c thank you for your feedback
